  • Water cleanup from firefighting efforts

Signs you need emergency board-up and tarping

After a fire, an open building is exposed to weather, animals, and intruders. These are signs to secure it right away.

  • Broken or missing windows and doors

    Openings left by the fire or firefighting need boarding up to keep the property secure until repairs begin.

  • Holes in the roof

    A burned or vented roof lets rain in on the already-damaged interior and needs tarping to keep water out.

  • Exposed, unsecured rooms

    Open walls and entryways leave the home open to intruders and further loss until they are secured.

  • Rain in the forecast

    With the structure compromised, incoming weather can turn fire damage into water damage overnight.

  • An unoccupied, damaged property

    A vacant fire-damaged building is a target for theft and vandalism, so securing it protects what remains.

Seeing any of these in Nashville? Don't wait. Call (844) 810-6096 for a fast, no-pressure assessment.

What our emergency board-up & tarping includes

A complete, professional process from first response to final restoration.

  • Window & door board-up

    Photographed and logged as we work, so your insurer sees exactly what was done.

  • Roof tarping

    Handled by the same crew from the first visit to the last, with one point of contact throughout.

  • Site security

    Scheduled around your household, with a clear start time and a realistic finish date.

  • Weather protection

    Scoped and priced before the crew starts, so the number you hear is the number you pay.

How Our Process Works

Here's how our crew handles emergency board-up & tarping from the first call to the final walkthrough.

  1. Emergency Assessment

    A seasoned technician evaluates the fire loss on arrival and walks you through what happens next.

  2. Soot & Smoke Removal

    Soot, char, and debris are removed quickly, and we clean up any water firefighting left behind.

  3. Deodorize & Treat

    We treat every impacted surface and the air so the loss and smell don't come back.

  4. Restore to Pre-Loss

    We rebuild the impacted area to pre-loss condition, from framing and drywall to paint and flooring.

Why fast action matters

Emergency Board-Up & Tarping is time-sensitive. The longer you wait, the more it spreads and the more it costs.

  • It gets worse over time

    Left untreated, the problem spreads and becomes harder and costlier to resolve.

  • Secondary damage

    Delays often lead to additional damage to materials, structure, or surrounding areas.

  • Health and safety risks

    Situations like this can carry real health or safety risks until they're properly handled.

What affects the cost of board-up

Emergency securing depends on how much is exposed. Main factors:

  • Number of openings

    How many windows, doors, and wall sections need boarding sets the materials and labor.

  • Roof tarping

    The size and pitch of any roof opening affects the tarping work needed to keep water out.

  • Access and height

    Upper floors and hard-to-reach openings take more equipment and time to secure safely.

Fire Damage in Nashville: What to Know

Straight answers on how fire damage restoration works, what it costs, and how insurance fits in, so you know what to expect before you call.

  • The Types of Smoke Residue

    Fires leave wet smoke, dry smoke, protein residue, or fuel-oil soot, and each one bonds to surfaces differently. Identifying the residue type is what determines the right cleaning method, because the wrong one can set a stain permanently.

  • Why Smoke Odor Lingers

    Smoke particles are small enough to penetrate drywall, insulation, and ductwork, so a room can look clean yet still smell. Surface cleaning isn't enough. Thermal fogging, ozone, and hydroxyl treatment neutralize the odor at its source.

  • Why Board-Up Can't Wait

    Open windows and a damaged roof expose your property to weather, theft, and further loss, and insurers expect you to mitigate. Emergency board-up and roof tarping in the first hours protects the structure while the cleanup is planned.

  • Soot Is Acidic, and Time Matters

    Within hours, acidic soot begins to etch glass, corrode metal and electronics, and stain walls. The sooner soot and smoke residue are removed, the more of your home and belongings can be saved.

  • One Team: Cleanup Through Rebuild

    We handle the whole recovery under one roof, covering board-up, soot and smoke cleanup, deodorization, and full structural rebuild back to pre-loss condition, so you never have to hand off to a second contractor mid-project.

What our crew handles

Our Fire Damage Services in Nashville

Full-service fire recovery for every kind of fire, residential and commercial, from emergency board-up and soot removal to complete rebuild.

  • Smoke Damage Cleanup

    Within the first day, smoke leaves a greasy film on walls and ceilings that only gets harder to lift the longer it waits. Victorian-era interiors in Germantown and East Nashville hold residue in plaster and original woodwork. Our team gets to it before it sets.

    More about Smoke Damage Cleanup

  • Soot Removal

    Soot is acidic. Give it a few hours untreated and it starts pitting metal and eating into glass. Original hardware and trim in Lockeland Springs and Germantown homes are especially vulnerable. We start with a dry sponge pass, then wet soot cleaning where that falls short.

    How our Soot Removal works

  • Fire Damage Cleanup

    Char, ash, and firefighting water are still sitting in the structure after flames are out. Our crew clears debris and stabilizes the site fast, since humid Middle Tennessee air means wet, charred material works against the structure quickly.

    See Fire Damage Cleanup details

  • Smoke Odor Removal

    Covering up smoke odor is only temporary, it resurfaces once the mask fades. Thermal fogging, ozone treatment, hydroxyl generators, and HEPA air scrubbing knock the odor out at the source instead of covering it. Middle Tennessee humidity holds smoke odor in soft goods and framing long after surfaces look clean.

    How our Smoke Odor Removal works

  • Structural Repair & Rebuild

    Pre-loss condition means framing rebuilt and drywall replaced, not a quick patch and paint. A Germantown rebuild gets matched Italianate, Queen Anne, or Eastlake trim so rooms blend with Nashville's first historic district. One licensed crew stays on the job start to finish.

    More about Structural Repair & Rebuild

  • Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out

    We inventory everything, pack it out, and clean it off-site in secure storage while your Nashville home is repaired. Furniture, electronics, and keepsakes each get logged before leaving the property, and they only return once repairs and odor work are completely done.

    See Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out details

  • Fire & Water Damage Restoration

    Standing water from firefighting efforts lingers behind, and any wet material left unattended for long starts breeding mold. Our Davidson County crew extracts water and structurally dries the property first, then moves into soot and smoke cleanup, one team handling both stages without bringing in a second company.

    How our Fire & Water Damage Restoration works

  • Commercial Fire Damage Restoration

    Crew size flexes to match the scope of the loss, keeping a business's downtime as short as possible. Wedgewood-Houston's adaptive-reuse factory buildings and storefronts along 12 South and Gallatin Pike get priority scheduling, insurer coordination, and after-hours work so a business can reopen sooner.

    See Commercial Fire Damage Restoration details

  • Puff-Back Cleaning

    An oil furnace puff-back can blanket walls, ceilings, and ductwork in thick black soot in a matter of minutes. Gas and electric heat dominate Middle Tennessee, so oil-furnace puff-backs are uncommon, but when it happens our crew uses degreasing agents built for oily soot, not standard smoke cleaning methods.

    How our Puff-Back Cleaning works

  • Wildfire Smoke Remediation

    Nashville's own wildfire risk is documented as low, lower than most US communities. The real exposure here is smoke drifting in from a nearby brush or county-line greenbelt fire. When that happens, our crew removes exterior ash, runs HEPA filtration, and deodorizes the interior.

    More about Wildfire Smoke Remediation

  • Duct & HVAC Smoke Cleaning

    Forced-air HVAC is standard across Nashville's mid-century and newer housing, so smoke pulled into the ducts keeps recirculating soot and odor long after the visible cleanup looks finished. We pair duct and vent soot cleaning with HEPA filtration to stop it.

    See Duct & HVAC Smoke Cleaning details

  • Chimney Fire Cleanup

    Wood-burning fireplaces sit in pre-1970s pockets of Germantown, East Nashville, Lockeland Springs, and parts of Belle Meade, not the whole city. Creosote and smoke residue around the firebox and adjoining walls get fully cleaned. Hold off on relighting until a professional inspects the flue.

    How our Chimney Fire Cleanup works
